Metal Gear Solid - VIIII - A Hideo Kojima Thread - PLAY THEM ALL IN RELEASE ORDER

[Fosax]

Am I the only one who gets a bit irritated whenever people treat their theories/headcanons as confirmed factual information?
Seems like this happens a LOT with MGS stuff and it usually puts me off discussing upcoming games...

[QUOTE=Bread_Baron;48021644]Every time I see Ground Zeroes' Big Boss it reminds me how much I love that design. It's better than his TPP look if you ask me.[/QUOTE]

I hated Venom Snake's design initially but the scars, horn and the scarf have cemented it as one of my favorites these days
It makes BB genuinely look like a terrifying warlord instead of a wacky baloon pirate

[munky91]

But wacky balloon pirate is a more apt description of what he is.

[RaikohZX]

well it was probably shitposting but now I've seen someone call MGSV "Skyrim with snakes"

[Pax]

Anybody have the link to the video of that speedrun of, I think, Destroy the AAA Guns in Ground Zeros, where a bunch of silly shit happens like hitting the guard with the sign?

Funnily enough I've always felt it makes him look a little cluttered and goofy. Whilst we're at it, the new sneaking suit is kind of unfitting. I know it's an homage to MGS1 but the original was intended to keep its wearer warm in the Alaskan winter. Big Boss must be sweltering in this thing.

Honestly I'm not big on the horn but everything else I like.

To me the Sneaking Suit really brings out the fact that Snake seems like he's got Chris Redfield physique or something this time around.

[QUOTE=munky91;48022074]But wacky balloon pirate is a more apt description of what he is.[/QUOTE]

I'd say a better description is war crime-committing terrorist who loves children.

[Pax]

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;48022118]The exact video.[/QUOTE]

Ah, most excellent, and speedy service to boot.

Yeah, I know we were always supposed to know the Snakes are ripped, but this is the first time they look INTENSELY ripped. You get the sense this is someone who could kill you with his bare hands if you made him angry enough.

[mastermaul]

I don't know why anyone would think that skull face isn't alive or anything when the new screenshots show BB rolling with him and his XOF operators in the same jeep. Are they all fake too?

I haven't seen what BB looks like without a shirt in the game post hospital but maybe thats like a prototype of a muscle suit like in 4.

idk man he's pretty much a wacky balloon pirate

I'm just going to walk around in the naked camo, covered in blood at all times.

[lik]

Too bad it's japan only :(

And this is the only game that i would actually buy something like that too.

[IlluminatiRex]

I really hate the "mark all enemies" trials, because it always comes down to me missing like 1 or 2 guys and I can't ever find them.

fuck.

Just unlocking them all, which means the "fastest completion" for Hard, and "Mark all the Enemies" for normal.

Guys. Guys. I figured it out.
That "Paz" clone we say in trailer...

Paz eyes are blue, not GREEN.

Chico will flip out and go crazy out of guilt for her death and will transform himself into Paz.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Never played any metal gear game except 4, decided to marathon all of them before September. After few days of suffering a bit of help from a guide, the first step is complete. Take that, Outer Heaven!

I didn't expect that MG and MG2 would actually have so many characters from the later games. I thought that they were completely different universes with Snake and Metal Gear being the only similarities.

[marden]

Since we are talking about Venom Snake's design I don't like one thing. I'm not a fan of the classic scar-over-the-good-eye. It's so... Can you even get one like that and not lose your eye?

Geralt of Rivia has it too but he was always portrayed with (in a way like BB loses his eye and wears an eyepatch for the most of his games).

Geralt's scar at least stops at his eyebrow and continues on his cheek:

BB's goes all the way to his fucking eyelids.

I like the rest of the scars but that one is just too boring.

Luckily it's just a small detail that won't really bother me, just something I would nitpick.

[QUOTE]This initiated a sequence where time slowed down, and I had just a few seconds to aim and try to tranquilize the enemy before he was able to call for backup. I missed, and he started to call backup. [B]However, calling backup does take some time, so I was able to put him down while he was in the middle of this call. Once he was down, I waited around to see if any other soldiers answered his half-plea for help. Thankfully, only one enemy came, and I quickly took care of him[/B].[/QUOTE]

GZ's biggest flaw has been fixed
i'm still amazed that was even a thing in the first place

[Nahash]

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;48024282]To be fair it was Metal Gear's Guantanamo.

Now we're just talking about soldiers out in the middle of a fucking desert and they're all probably pissed and don't give a shit.

I hope the tacked on crutches and hand holding aren't optional for higher difficulties in TPP.
Like I hope it's all forced off and disabled on the highest difficulty. gonna be the ultimate challenge.[/QUOTE]

Hasn't it been confirmed that [sp]Camp Omega is reappearing in TPP?[/sp] It's going to be interesting seeing if they keep the new alert mechanic in that level.

Okay, that was straight up the main problem I had with GZ, and now that's been fixed this game is going to be fucking amazing.

[General]

Can someone help me with understanding this?

All those soldiers that you can recruit, why do they follow Big Boss?

I haven't really seen him being a charismatic leader in MGSV from previews

So why is everyone so obsessed with him?
